Amanda is absurd and abrasive, but also sympathetic thanks to Porcaroli’s performance. She’s a flaming narcissist with a gooey core of vulnerability, a being forged by the fear of making herself known.

In a world where everyone feels lonely, Amanda might be our most authentic avatar, someone willing to get super weird in the hopes it will lead somewhere great. For Cavalli and “Amanda,” the results speak for themselves: The film, and its titular heroine, are great indeed.

Cavalli’s directorial eye is as strong as her writer’s wit, a combination that makes for an unusually assured debut.

Writer-director Carolina Cavalli (with the considerable contribution of Benedetta Porcaroli in the title role) crafts a refreshingly unconventional and acidic deadpan comic portrait of an offbeat female friendship.

It is a film of style and surface, and these are cleverly created and maintained.

Carolina Cavalli’s film consecrates a ferocity as refreshing as it is infectious.

Too real for its whimsy and too whimsical to be realistic, Amanda will likely linger on those people who don’t leave their bedrooms much, more than on the reasons why they should – and that stunts its charm.

I thought it was a good movie. After watching this movie, you will probably get something that makes you think. There are movies that show the life of people who are not like others. It felt like one of those movies.
